The company also announced that Mr. Rutten has informed the Board of Directors of his intention to retire as president and chief executive officer at the end of 2025. He will remain a member of the company's Board of Directors. "Giel has been instrumental in focusing Amkor's strategy on leadership in Advanced packaging and orienting the company towards high growth markets, including high performance computing and AI," said Susan Kim, the company's Chairman of the Board. "Giel has been a highly effective CEO and has positioned the company for significant long-term growth. We thank him for his dedicated work and are pleased that he will continue as member of the Board."

Following its succession planning process, the company's Board of Directors announced that it has appointed Mr. Kevin Engel, chief operating officer, to succeed Mr. Rutten as president and chief executive officer, effective January 1, 2026, and that Mr. Engel will join the Board at that time. Mr. Rutten and Mr. Engel will work together on executing a smooth leadership transition. "Kevin is an industry veteran with more than twenty years of experience with Amkor. He is uniquely qualified to lead the company when Giel retires and to continue the company's close collaboration with leading semiconductor companies," said Ms. Kim.

In this press release, we refer to EBITDA, which is not defined by U.S. GAAP. We define EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization. We believe EBITDA to be relevant and useful information to our investors because it provides additional information in assessing our financial operating results. Our management uses EBITDA in evaluating our operating performance, and our ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and pay dividends. However, EBITDA has certain limitations in that it does not reflect the impact of certain expenses on our consolidated statements of income, including interest expense, which is a necessary element of our costs because we have borrowed money in order to finance our operations, income tax expense, which is a necessary element of our costs because taxes are imposed by law, and depreciation and amortization, which is a necessary element of our costs because we use capital assets to generate income. EBITDA should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, operating income, net income or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Furthermore, our definition of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Below is our reconciliation of EBITDA to U.S. GAAP net income.

  • our continuing development and implementation of changes to, and maintenance and security of, our information technology systems;
  • restrictive covenants in the indentures and agreements governing our current and future indebtedness;
  • our substantial indebtedness;
  • the ability of certain of our stockholders to effectively determine or substantially influence the outcome of matters requiring stockholder approval;
  • the possibility that we may decrease or suspend our quarterly dividend;
  • difficulty attracting, retaining or replacing qualified personnel;
